It's not that simple - there is a phase change curve (solid to liquid to gas) 
that is
different for different materials. There is one for pure water, but if you 
change the
composition of the fluid, by adding anti-freeze, for example - you change its 
phase change
characteristics. A good example is seawater - due to the salt content, it 
freezes at
approx. 28 deg. F, given ambient pressure of 1 atmosphere; rather than the 32 
deg. F of
pure water.
